Thanks for the post today W.T.R.! I don't have much time to handicap today and you're about the only one on here that is in tune with what's happening in that part of the woods as far as I'm concerned!

Truer words have never been spoken !!

This problem was on the national news about a year ago.  The thieves were also butchers who were harvesting the meaty parts and then just discarding the stripped carcasses along the road side in the rural areas! The meat is very desirable and sells for a good price in the  Cuban,Haitian and Jamaican community according to the story I saw. They took everything from ponies to family pets,so I imagine that strong healthy animals can bring a premium price!🤷

You go to the Swap Shop (Sunrise), the outside vendors with the produce, places like that. 

Bacalao, horsemeat...you have to know which of the vendor's as there are over a dozen...I like their sugar cane, apple bananas and quenepas which are referred to as Spanish limes but are like a mango the size of a shelled walnut.

I think the lead to hit that spot came from the inside (hired help possibly treated poorly) to possibly like a group you mentioned unfortunately.

In other news, if we we're stranded on a desert island, and went full cannibal...she'd only supply the breakfast, maybe lunch...

T.T now appears that he's drunk half the times he drives! 🤦

    Anyone remember his wife?

A couple of weeks ago one of the biggest fixtures over the years past away,   I still remember his rough voice been heard when rooting for his horse in a stretch drive ,      Many friends attended his funeral and that made me happy.     When i think of racing to me its the characters and some crazy and some a little less crazy but that was a huge part of the everyday scene.   Not many characters left sad.
